Chapter 33: Beast•

"So what makes you want to come to Melemele?" Mew asked Selena eating a malasada with her Pokémon

"I wanted to talk to Kahuna Hala and Hau"

"What? Selena we talked about this... Kahunas are dangerous for Leles, and Hau isn't the same one you know of!" Selena continued eating "do you hear me!?"

"I have ears" she sighed and returned everyone but Oricorio, who rested on her head. She walked out the malasada shop before people start wondering why she's talking to herself. Hau'oli city was scary looking. Really, some of the buildings were knocked down to the ground and there was a bunch of wheel loaders were trying to lift some large rocks and such. Even if the aura bomb happened months ago, there is still people trying to clean up her mess. Well... Moone Selena's mess

"Does the people of the world know it was Selena Moone that did this?"

"Not everyone knows, but even if they did. Selena was loved by all... she's a rare Lele people aren't scared of. You on the other hand... you're scary" Selena smirked, amused

"Thanks" Oricorio glanced at Mew, finding it suspicious

Route 2 wasn't too far ahead. Will Kahuna Hala tell her about Hau being a bad Lele? She honestly doesn't know where to start, but what better way to discover more about this world is by beginning at the place where she started her adventure in Alola back home

Mew was nervous out of its mind following Selena walking around like she was back home. This blue Mew is certainly different from her owns, but this one is traumatized after what happened. Selena froze, making Mew run into her

"Mew... what happened to Moone Celebi?" Mew rubbed its nose

"Huh? Oh! The truth is I never told Celebi about my plan... bringing you here" It played with its paws nervously "I'm sorry... I-I..." it started shaking "i-it's hard to explain.." Selena stared at the poor creature shaking like it was holding its tears. Poor thing...

"Okay... okay... I won't ask anymore questions" Mew sniffled "I have to remember you're not my Mew. You're overly sensitive and freak out more than mine. Honestly, if you want... I'll just go on on my own and call you like I call my Mew"

"I-I guess that's okay... but you don't know this place"

"It's okay. I'll run into someone eventually. I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself" Mew nodded and flew off. Selena stared at the poor thing disappearing into the night sky. Her surroundings never failed to show a path of Glacidea flowers everywhere. If the light is still blooming from the flower itself, it's still day time apparently. She took out the Glacidea she picked earlier and stared at it while walking long enough to run into her parents house, but this was looked warned and was for sale. The look of it broke her heart a little

"Selena here... she's outgoing and never had a problem expressing herself. She didn't run away and was loved by all. I even bet she was overly sensitive and a coward" she sighed with a smile "scared of her own shadow, and cries a lot. How can someone admire someone like that?" She shook her head and walked up to Iki Town "I shouldn't be speaking this way about her, but I'm always talking down to myself anyways, even if I don't say it out loud" she looked at the light from the flowers "how did so many people know her..? What was I missing? If I never ran away, what would my life be like? That Selena met Shadow as well, but she traveled around and I bet she even got unovas badges too, but she was champion of Unova instead of me? I refused to accept my defeat and shut everyone again. This Selena didn't have to worry about anything I did..." she stared at her Z crystals, letting her tears fall on the stone "she's been happier than I was..."

"Oo..."Oricorio frowned. Selena smiled, squating down to hold out her flower sparkling in gold

"She was happy, but she didn't run away from home to meet Eevee, all those Mistrevus, Ditto, Zorua, and Minccino, or go on a adventure and met all those Pokémon I have back home. She didn't get Lucario from uncle Riley, who could have saved her from the aura bomb... and kept the bomb from expanding all over the region... she didn't grow up sad like I did, she was happy... but she died because the triad... she died sad... and I'm happy now instead of her" more tears fell on her stone and even the flower "makes me think more about my life"

A powerful aura came raging her direction in tremendous speed. She snapped her head behind her to notice a tall feminine like creature who felt like a UB coming her way as if it was going to attack. Her eyes stared in horror, but her brain wasn't fast enough to profess a way to defend herself. She screamed on the top of her lungs, not knowing what to do

Nothing came for a attack. She looked up to see Gladion's Silvally protecting her, raging at the UB knocked on the ground. It stood back up and sped up to the artificial beast killer

"Silvally! Muli Attack!" A male voice shouted. A red ball of light touched the Pokémon, changing its color to a fire type "Go!" Silvally roared and attacked the UB over and over, but the tall elegant figure was too fast. Selena looked down at her scattered belongings that fell from her bag and found a beast ball near her Poké gear. She thought she gave them all to Lillie...

Either way, Silvally was in trouble and there was only one thing to do now. She threw the beast ball in the air and threw it towards the UB in the speed of light, using her powers to let the throw hit it's body accurately. The creature got sucked into the ball and got caught completely. Selena held her heart, trying to get it to calm down. That rush... it's been so long since feeling something like that

She flinched from a pain in her head and held her flower close, hoping her powers won't break out. She breath heavily, hearing footsteps running towards her and stop right in front of her. She stared at the pair of white shoes tiredly

"Hey, you okay?" This voice...

"I... I'll be fine..." she calmed her heart and her pain and reached out to grab the beast ball "thanks for saving me"

"What is that you have there?" She looked up, seeing the mixed emotions of neon green mixed black eyes staring down at her. The owner of those eyes was wearing a all white suit with a green and yellow ruffled tie around his neat collar. His hair was still in its blonde state where it was covering his eye, but his face held a more softer innocent look

"Gladion?" She sat up right "I-it is you! What are you wearing?" She side smirked. He glared, pouting. He's pouting?

"Excuse you? How dare you speak my name so informally? Don't you know who I am?" She stood up and put the beast ball in her bag

"Your Gladion, of course" she blushed, still smirking a little. She knows this isn't the Gladion she knows, since hers was more of a edge lord, this one didn't look like he knew how to look serious. He was like Lillie from Sunne "who else will you be?" she smiled "thanks a lot for helping me out! I thought I was a goner"

"Hmph... normally I would have to report you to the Kahuna of the island for pulling a stunt such as you did" he flipped his hair and turned away with his arms crossed. He actually looks adorable when behaving this way... "you don't seem like one of them, so I won't say anything if what you did was for self defense"

"Yeah!" She smiled, hiding her flower. Silvally walked up to her to sniff her out "this is so weird to see you wearing that... it's pretty cute" He blushed, very confused and embarrassed

"W-what do you mean by that!?"

"Like I said, you're cute" she blushed herself "sorry... did I make you uncomfortable, I'm embarrassing myself, aren't I?" Gladion looked down shyly

"Who are you? tell me your name"

"My name is Selena" Gladion held his chin to think

"Is that right..? You have the same as..." he shook his head "nevermind. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" he smiled cutely

"Good!" Selena's heart started beating fast again. He's so adorable... Gladion as Lillie in this dimension. If he's like this, then Lillie... "what brings you here? Are you a trail goer? I see you have yourself a Z ring" Selena looked at her wet bracelet

"I guess you can say that"

"Then you want to have a battle with Kahuna Hala! I can show you to Iki Town if you want!" He walked off to pick up the same bag her Lillie had before when she hides Nebby back when it was a Cosmog "did you complete the first trial of Melemele yet?"

"Oh... Not here" she didn't exactly lie, since she didn't do a trial here on this dimension

"Cool! Then Kahuna Hala can help you start! Where did you get the z ring?"

"Tapu Koko..."

"No way! Really!?" His eyes sparkled amazed. Selena cupped her mouth, trying to keep her blushing face under control. Gladion here might be able to help her get use to the one back home and try to confess her feelings to him "you must be someone really special then! I know when people are lying, so I'm glad your honest! Please follow me!" Silvally continued sniffing her "Silvally! Stop that, will you?" His bag started shaking "h-hey!" He held it down, looking at Selena nervously "t-that was nothing"

"Are you hiding a Pokémon?"

"O-of course not!" She smiled

"It's okay, I don't judge. You can trust me... you know?" He stared at her before relaxing with a kind smile

"That's good to hear... thank you. Please follow me" the two of them walked the lighten path together. It was quiet, but it wasn't awkward. She couldn't help but blush from being with him, even if he is someone else

"So what are trials like here in Alola? I actually just got here" she made sure not to make it out as a lie. Does Gladion have this power back home? He smiled at her. Dang... can't get use to that

"Well, you have to battle a trail captain and a totom Pokémon to get a z crystal" so it's the same "The battles are pretty hard, and they're really dangerous... they're run by Leles who try to harm you and trick you on purpose. I don't think I'll be able to do such a thing" he pet Silvally

"What are you talking about? You and Silvally were great together" that made him blush again

"Y-you're really sweet... but I don't use Silvally for Pokémon battles, only beast hunting. It was made to beat UBs, like the one that attacked you" he stopped and looked at her "what did you do with that UB anyways? Did you capture it?"

"I did" she took out the beast ball "Silvally looked like it was having trouble so I threw this beast ball" Gladion took the ball confused and observed it

"This beast ball... did you steal this?" Selena flinched at his soft glare, but smiled

"You know about beast balls?" She tried not answering, just to see what happens

"These are made by my mother! These are top secret!" Made by his mother?

"Lusamine made these?" He flinched. He didn't looked pleased. "No, I actually did not steal these" Just when he was about to say something, a voice called out to him

"Sir Gladion! Where have you been!?" It was Kahuna Hala waving to him "It's time for the festival to start! Bring your friend, will yah?" Gladion stared at him before trying to glare at Selena, but she kept her happy face on and waved to Kahuna Hala

"Yoo-hoo!" She sang "you're having a festival? Count me in!" Realizing she sang, she looked down at Gladion holding his heart, bend over "o-oh! I-I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking!" She gasped, reaching for him. He slapped her hand away

"Y-you..." he took a step away from her "you're a Lele..?" She laughed nervously and ran towards Kahuna Hala

"Alola, young lady! are you a friend of Sir Gladion?" He smiled. A Kahuna in the Moone dimension are chosen to punish a Lele for doing horrible things. Hapu was about to battle her because she trespassed sacred ground, but it's not like she meant to do it. If Gladion can keep his mouth shut, Kahuna Hala won't try to attack

"Well you can say that! Hi! I'm Selena! I'm originally from Unova!" Oricorio sweat dropped. What's with this place? It's like her brain cells are dying or something. She keeps forgetting this isn't her world and Unova is gone!

Kahuna Hala seemed shocked "you're from Unova?" Might as well. She's not afraid of the outcome. She held her hip and nodded confidently

"I was! But I moved before hearing about what happened to Unova" nice save Selena, now Gladion won't be suspicious. Gladion walked to stand next to Kahuna Hala and sighed. He looked like he gave up on his little tough act and became a good boy with his soft looks. Selena gave him a smile, making him look away and walk off

"Sir Gladion, where are you going? Is something wrong?"

"No, I think I'm going to head to the ruins of conflict" he looked at Selena "the girl seems trustworthy, but I'll still keep an eye on her" he pet Silvally, throwing the beast ball in his hand, and went into the village. Selena smiled at him, liking how different this place is. Though this isn't her world, she wants to be of help to those she knows. No matter who they are, they're them. Selena giggled and looked back at Hala

"What is he talking about?"

"Not sure! But the festival, what's it for?"

"Oh! Nothing special, we have one every year in honor of our great Tapu Koko" he gestured her to follow "so are you new to Alola?"

"No, but I have many places to explore here"

"So you're a trial goer? That's interesting. We don't have many of those, mainly because our people are terrified of the Leles running the trials. But... you have a z ring. I'm taken you are going to try out for the island challenge" she sweat dropped

"Well... I don't really have a interest in them, but-" she made her hands into fist "I'm not scared of anyone! If they want to fight, then they'll have to get through my Pokémon!" Hala nodded, pleased to hear of her confidence

"I'm glad you feel that way, but it takes more than that to take a trial with a Lele. Leles are extremely dangerous and unpredictable. They're tricksters and will hurt anyone for the fun of it. I often try to stop anyone from taking these trials, but many people end up getting hurt because they weren't strong enough, or just didn't have the power to protect themselves from taking a attack from the Lele themselves. They don't play fair" sounds like someone she knows. Oh right, her! Though she's not going to attack for no reason, she likes tricking people, and being unfair with her games

"I can handle it" Hala chuckled

"I would like to believe you, but I don't think I can persuade you to not go. If you really want to go, I'll have to see your strength in battle. Will that be alright?"

"W-well... my Pokémon aren't all that strong" she huffed "but that's not going to stop me from exploring the 4 islands!"

"What? There are 7 islands dear" a tall figure with short blonde hair, wearing a lab coat and a sexy swimsuit that covered her belly button but exposed the side of her stomach. She was dripping wet, and her coat was getting soaked, like she just gone out for a swim "have you been living under a rock? The islands of Alola had slit due to the earthquakes caused by our queen" Selena blinked confused

"Queen?" Mew appeared by her side, sitting in the air in silence "Lusamine? Is that really you?"

"That's Madam Lusamine to you, missy. You're new to Alola, but how can you not know-" Lusamine raised her arm to silence Hala

"It's alright. It may not even be her fault. Do not judge her so quickly" Selena frowned
"You don't know our queen?"

"N-no..." Mew looked a little to say something, but stopped itself and turned away

"Our Queen Selena was a kind soul who made a difference in our world. Her death not only impacted our life, but our world as well. She was a Lele, but she was different and admired. After her death, her younger sister took the throne and provided our world with light after the sun disappeared" Selena took a step back, shocked. She looked at Mew looking down

"W-why didn't you say she was a actual queen?" Mew didn't respond. Lusamine leaned closer

"Who are you talking to sweetie?" Selena flinched at the sight of her eyes

"Y-you're..." still "a Lele..?" She cupped her mouth

"Oh, no need to be afraid dear, I'm part of the grand castle, known to Princess Alexandria. I'm not a bad Lele..." Lusamine frowned at Selena's terrified face "are you alright? You're pale..."

"Princess..? That poor little girl..." so young and she had to become a princess for this world, taking so much responsibility, after her big sister passed. Selena Moone was a actual queen..? Lusamine held her cheek, making her jump and shake very violently, shedding tears like a river "oh goodness! Dear, calm down. Breath!" Selena shut her eyes "tell me what's wrong" a aura was escaping Lusamine's body, the woman was trying to use her powers, but it's not effecting Selena. She moved away and bowed

"I-I'm sorry... I didn't think it was going to happen" she cried towards Lusamine, still feeling guilty about what she did in ultra space "I just started getting that power... I didn't know it would change..." she sobbed "what's happening to me..? What's this place doing to me..?"

"Selena..." Mew frowned. Selena shook her head and ran to the hills, and by the hills, the ruins of conflict. Lusamine and Hala looked at each other before running after her, nobody knowing they were being watched by a certain boy sitting on a palm tree, smirking

"Huh... boss will be pleased..." he snickered. A couple who was walking together happily suddenly turned to each other and started arguing "hmph" he ran off

So what you think of Gladion? Cute huh?? And Lusamine doesn't judge! How strange... and can you guess who was on the palm tree? To those who gets it right will get a free pat on the head! Hahha
